Chapter 434: Box Office Hits
Gu Wei received the WeChat message from Zhou Ye, smiled and didn't take it too seriously. The girl was very cute, and if she was promoted in the future, she might become a popular star, that's all.
He was currently holding a roadshow at the Guangdong Police College.
The university auditorium was packed with participating students. The main creative team sat on the side of the first row, and the feature film "Operation Mekong" was playing on the big screen.
Gu Wei also took a break from his busy schedule to check his phone and replied to a few messages.
After the movie was over, the reserve police officers present showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the creative team.
A student asked Gu Wei if he would play a role similar to that of someone wearing camouflage uniform in the future?
Gu Wei thought of the recently completed film "Wolf Warrior 2". Although his character in the film did not join the army, the nature of the role was similar.
However, since he was currently filming Operation Mekong, it was difficult for him to promote other movies. He just smiled and said that he would definitely act in the film if there was a suitable opportunity in the future.
After the roadshow, it was already late and everyone prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.
"I have good news for everyone. Our movie's real-time box office has exceeded 100 million yuan. It was a great success on the first day of its release. The future is promising!"
After coming out of the police academy, a staff member whispered something in Yu Dong's ear, and then Yu Dong excitedly announced the good news to the creative team.
"Very good!"
"Our movie is going to be a huge hit!"
“.”
Everyone looked happy, and Gu Wei and Zhang Hanyu looked at each other.
"Brother Hanyu, congratulations on the box office success!"
Gu Wei bowed.
"I'm happy, I'm happy. It's all thanks to you, brother."
Zhang Hanyu also returned the gift.
The two of them congratulated each other jokingly and then laughed out loud at the same time.
The next morning, the team flew to Shenzhen, the last stop of the roadshow. After finishing here, the publicity and promotion roadshow that lasted for more than a week came to an end.
On September 30, on the first day of its release, "Operation Mekong" took in 125 million yuan at the box office with a 36% share of the national screenings. The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million yuan. It was also the only movie in this year's National Day box office to exceed 100 million yuan in a single day, and it undoubtedly became the national box office champion of the day.
On the day the movie was released, more than 100,000 people gave "Operation Mekong" a high score of 8.7 on Douban.
Audiences who have already watched the movie have not hesitated to express their praise online, and netizens on major platforms have given Operation Mekong all positive reviews.
Gu Wei's characterization in the new film is undoubtedly a success. His first attempt at this kind of police and gangster action film gave the audience a huge surprise. The film is well made and Gu Wei's performance is also good. I look forward to him bringing us more and better works in the future!
This film is Gu Wei's first modern action film. It's so exciting, it feels like hormones are about to overflow from the big screen. Zhang Hanyu's performance is also very good. I look forward to their next collaboration!
Even when he's deliberately looking ugly, his brother is still so handsome. The sexual tension is absolutely captivating. I'm so moved by the movie. The director shot it so well. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow!!
[I was deeply shocked after watching the movie. Because it was adapted from real events, I could empathize with many scenes.
Because of these patriotic soldiers who defend our country, we can be safe. We salute them! 】
[A very good movie, I like Gu Wei, his works are always excellent! ! ]
[After watching this movie, I have great respect for drug enforcement police. Their work is so hard and dangerous.
Salute to the anti-drug police fighting on the front line, stay away from drugs and cherish life! 】
[Based on true events, this film tells the story of a strong nation and a strong people. Although our compatriots were killed, those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are. This film is very moving and worth watching! ]

[Operation Mekong] was undoubtedly a hit, and it was obvious on the first day of its release that it was a great success in both box office and reputation.
Of course, the high ratings of the film are also related to the unsatisfactory reputation of other films released at the same time.
On the second day of its release, "Passing by Your World" took in 65.24 million yuan at the box office with 28% of the screenings due to a decline in its screening share, ranking second only to "Operation Mekong".
Judging from the investment cost of the film, the box office revenue of over 130 million in the first two days was obviously a success, but the reputation of the film was relatively average.
The Douban score is 5.3, and most viewers commented that it was too pretentious, thinking that it would be a comedy starring Deng Chao, but it turned out not to be very funny.
There is basically nothing memorable in the movie, only one sentence from Yue Yunpeng unexpectedly left a deep impression on everyone.
"Swallow, how can I live without you!"
If "Passing By Your World" has an average reputation, then Wang Jing's movie "Aces Go Aces" is a completely bad movie.
Maybe the theaters had already seen the movie and knew how bad it was, so "Aces Go Fighting", which was released on the same day as "Operation Mekong", did not have a high screening share on the first day, only a pitiful 15%.
You should know that this movie is co-starred by Andy Lau and Huang Xiaoming. Although Wang Jing has made many bad movies, he is also a well-deserved commercial film director.
However, the combination of the three of them is not as good as Gu Wei, and their box office appeal is far inferior to that of Deng Chao.
Facts have proved that the cinema's choice was correct. On the first day, "Aces Go Aces" only earned 34.15 million at the box office as the other two movies dominated the market. Moreover, after the first day, there were a lot of negative reviews online, and Douban only gave it a pitiful 3.3 points.
[A beautiful-looking "poop"! ]
Wang Jing might be addicted to making bad movies, but they don't have to be this bad. There's absolutely no plot. You can't use your brain when watching movies!
Can't King Liu choose his films carefully before filming? From "Fuchun Mountain Residence" to "Aces Go Fighting", he's eroding the audience's trust in him!
I've gotten used to it. I've decided that next time I see a movie starring Andy Lau and Huang Xiaoming, I'll definitely wait for the online ratings to come out before deciding whether to go see it. Going the day before is a waste!

On October 1st, National Day, the National Day Golden Week officially began. "Operation Mekong" continued to maintain strong box office performance. On the 1st and 2nd, it earned 132 million and 124 million box office results respectively. In the first three days of the week, it earned a total of 371 million box office, far ahead of other movies.
Ji'an, a small city in Northeast China, the crew of "Sewing Machine Band".
Nazha wore a denim jacket and a white T-shirt on the upper body, a miniskirt on the lower body, and a pair of brown leather boots on her feet. Her pair of long white legs were thin and straight, and she held a lollipop in her mouth. She looked beautiful and cool.
This outfit is exactly the same as the character "Ding Jianguo" she played in the movie.
After the last scene of the afternoon was shot, as the director shouted "cut" through the loudspeaker, Nazha's expression changed, her cool demeanor disappeared, and she returned to her usual silly look.
"Okay, that's all for today's shoot."
Dapeng, who is both the director and the leading actor, shouted to the staff to pack up the equipment.
"Sister Zhixi, is there a movie theater near our crew?"
After finishing the filming, Nazha asked Chen Zhixi who was helping Dapeng in the crew.
The producer of the movie [Sewing Machine Band] is still Chen Zhixi. This is her second collaboration with Dapeng after [The Pancake Man].
"I'm not sure about that. Ji'an is a very small town. I'm not sure if there is a cinema. You can ask the director. This is his hometown, he will definitely know."
The conversation between the two was also heard by Dapeng who was standing nearby. He saw Nazha turn her head to look at him and thought for a moment.
"There's a Xinglong Shopping Mall in the city center, and there's a Dadi Cinema inside."
Nazha looked happy when she heard Dapeng's words.
“Thank you, Director~”
"Want to go to the movies tonight, Nazar?"
Chen Zhixi asked curiously.
"Yes, Gu Wei's new film was released a few days ago, and it's a huge hit at the box office right now. I plan to go to the cinema to support his new film!
Sister Zhixi, do you want to go with me?"
Nazha explained and extended an invitation to Chen Zhixi.
"Is it the recently popular film Operation Mekong?"
"Yes, yes!"
Chen Zhixi did not answer immediately after hearing this, but instead glanced at Dapeng beside him.
"Director, is there anything going on on the set tonight?"
"No~"
"How about we contact the cinema and book a screening, invite everyone to watch it, and use it as a break from filming so everyone can take a break and relax?"
Chen Zhixi suggested.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dapeng understood what she meant.
When filming "The Pancake Man", Gu Wei came to make a free cameo appearance for Chen Zhixi's sake, so he owed the other party a favor.
What's more, with Gu Wei's current fame and status, making friends with him will always be beneficial and have no harm.
"That's a great idea. It's settled. I'll have someone contact the cinema to reserve the entire theater right now!"
He did what he said and started arranging for the crew to watch a movie in the evening.
Chen Zhixi looked at Nazha with a smile.
"You don't need to buy a ticket now, just go with the crew later."
"Thank you, Sister Zhixi~"
Nazha happily thanked Chen Zhixi.
"Why thank me? Gu Wei and I have been friends for many years. I've been busy with the crew recently. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that his new movie was released."
That night, the crew of "Sewing Machine Band" booked a theater to watch the movie. Dapeng asked the staff to take pictures and posted them on his Weibo, which was also a support and promotion for Gu Wei's new movie.
